Auto-light and its $96,000 present, Mr. Ray Milan in Chicken Feed, a suspense play produced and edited by William Speer. Hey, hap, what happened? Forget me a doctor, rush to fast, getting here, run my battery drive.
Why you don't need a doctor, you need an auto-light, stay full battery. Why these brilliant, beautiful, bouncy babies want water only three times a year. Yes, only three times a year in normal car use.
Their larger liquid load is like a lake compared to ordinary batteries, and auto-light stay-full batteries have extra protection with fiberglass retaining mats for longer life. Why in tests conducted according to lifecycle standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers, auto-light stay-full batteries gave 70% longer average life than batteries without the stay-full features.
So folks, get an auto-light stay-full battery. Remember you're always right with auto-light. Oh, and friends a reminder, suspense may be seen on television in many parts of the country, every Tuesday night. And now with Chicken Feed, and with the performance of Ray Milan, Auto Light hopes once again to keep you in...
...Suspense! Alright, it was a silly thing to fight over, I admit it, but there it was. And nickel. A measly worthless nickel, chicken feed. Of course, that was the only the beginning. Junior, Dastru, Nittle, and I flipped it over to him.
After he left the room, Mary said I shouldn't spoil the kid. It was time he learned the value of money. And I said, great, Scott, if I couldn't get my own child in Niggle without her jumping down my throat, I said, after all, what's a nickel good for?
Cup of coffee? Oh, you know how these things get going? He keeps saying things you shouldn't, and she lashes out with an answer. And before you know it, you've stormed out of the house, and you're taking it out on the car.
